I did not get to fully live a retired life in the old place because I was busy preparing to move. I wonder in time, if I had stayed, what new interests and hobbies I would have found myself involved in. In the new city, I lamented that I did not have friends to go out to lunch with. That is no longer true. I have found new friends in various new and old activities. I wore an inflatable butterfly costume playing pickleball. I am into soccer, pickleball, yoga, pilates, weightlifting, stretching, barre, and storytelling. I have found my groove.
